Which statement best explains the outcome of Roe v. Wade after the 1973 ruling?

The 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling recognized a constitutional right to abortion, especially early in pregnancy, but it did not prevent states from regulating abortions as pregnancy progressed. So women gained the right to end pregnancies, while states gained some authority to restrict abortions. Choice A is too broad because states did not lose all power to regulate abortion.
